• Rumor Killer On The Undertaker vs. Goldberg Being For The WWE Legends Championship
During last night’s Money In The Bank 2019 PPV, WWE announced that WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley will appear on tonight’s RAW to introduce a new Championship in WWE.
While very less people backstage in WWE know about this Title (with wrestlers having absolutely no idea yesterday when this announcement was made), Wrestling Observer is reporting that there have been talks that it could either be a Hardcore Championship or a Legends Championship.
Belt Fan Dan, who has reported correctly regarding WWE Title belts in the past multiple times, noted on Twitter that The Undertaker vs. Goldberg at WWE Super ShowDown 2019 could be for the new “WWE Legends Championship”.
Legends Championship for Taker vs Goldberg is what I'm hearing.

BeltFanDan then went on to delete his tweet and tweeted the following:
I'm hearing 2 different things from 2 reliable sources, so I think some false info is being put out there on purpose. I have not confirmed anything, just reported what regularly reliable sources tell me.

Can't get confirmation on either. I honestly do not know at the moment.

WrestleVotes went on to report the following:
Lots of rumors surrounding the new championship Mick Foley is introducing. Source says it’s not a Legends belt in anyway & not connected to Saudi Arabia. It’s not “hardcore” either, although it’s going to play off the rule where the title can be defended anywhere at anytime.
